Here's the two recipes I like that I got from Annie. I have one more but I will have to go find it later.

MAPLE OATMEAL BREAD
3 Â 3 1/4 cups flour
1 pkg dry yeast
3/4 cup prepared coffee
1/2 cup quick cooking rolled oats
1/2 (scant) cup maple syrup
2 tblsp butter
1 tsp salt
1 egg
Combine a cup of flour and the yeast. Heat coffee, oats, syrup, butter and salt until just warm and butter is almost melted. Add to flour mixture along with egg. Beat with electric mixer on low for 30 seconds. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface, knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately soft dough that is smooth and elastic (3-5 minutes kneading). Shape dough into a ball, place in lightly greased bowl, and turn over once to grease surface of dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size, about an hour.
Punch down dough, cover and let rest 10 minutes. Meanwhile lightly grease a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Shape dough into a loaf and place into prepared pan, cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly double in size (30 to 45 minutes). Bake at 350 F about 30 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when lightly tapped. Remove from pan immediately and cool on wire rack.

lpink, I know everyone, rightfully, is focused on Thanksgiving prep and recipes right now, so I'm particularly grateful that you took time to post these before my post drifted onto the "nether-pages."

I have everything on hand for the Maple Oatmeal Bread and am going to give it a try today. Thanks so much!

That's a sweet breakfasty kind of bread although if I made rolls it would probably make a good dinner roll, and is also good buttered to serve along with soup. I just do the whole shebang in the breadmaker. I am such a lazy cook, but I really don't enjoy the prep part, I only cook because I enjoy the EATING part.
I realized that the recipe is written not to make in a breadmaker, but you can just follow the instructions for how to add the ingredients to the breadmaker and it works out fine (wet ing. first, then dry, then yeast.)

I've made the maple oatmeal bread several times and LPink described it perfectly. It is a wonderful breakfast toast bread, and it's also good with soups & salads. I use my big Zojirushi for the kneading and then bake it in the oven. I think you'll really enjoy it.

I've saved the Maple Oatmeal Bread recipe. Definitely going to give it a try.

one suggestion is to change one variable at a time. I find that I need to stick to one brand of flour. I'm not a bread maven, but I'm thinking that for chewy bread, you might want to rethink baking it in the Zo.
